Network problems - Troubleshooting

So I log in to PoE, play for 30 sec- 1m, sometimes a few minutes or perhaps until I change to a different zone and my ping goes from a stable 60 to 1.8k-1.9k lag spike that flatlines and forces me to drop it to the log in screeen. After that I try to play again and the same thing happens. This has been happening ever since the ascendancy launched. Note that I have been playing the game for years and never had ANY latency issues and havent changed my isp provider in at least 5 years. Obviously the problem is on my side, right?

I then proceed to test things on world of tanks, wow, league of legends, hs, HoTs and random stuff on the internet and guess what, ZERO latency issues. I get no lag, no stuttering, no spikes and I can play fine for hours. Now will someone please acknowledge that there IS a problem and that it could be on YOUR side? I have been paying attention to the latency issues thread where people are complaining daily, it has reached almost over 53 pages and not ONE GGG response to it. Clearly the problem is on their end, packet loss, bad isp provider, fairy dust clogging the cables and ofc the magical router reset ritual people failed to do.

I apologize for sounding rude here, the person who made this thread clearly did it in order to help people who do have some of these problems and I am sure it will help some of them. But dear God you cant expect me to believe that it is somehow my problem that only YOUR game is completely unplayable due to lag spikes.

I hope this gets sorted out otherwise it will piss people off and they will move onto other games despite the fact that they really wanted to play this one.

All of this is true. But they still keep avoid problems, dodge all complains and answer "not our side" at any server/stability problem, for like almost 1 year.

The last Chris Wilson speach from reddit was epic, he has zero clue on how improve his servers stability, he even asked on reddit how to do, thats pure epicness, i just hope he read the answer from trackpete. Because yes, the top 1 from ggg need to go to reddit to know how to improve his own game.

And yes they will never admit that their EU ISP is total garbage too. Better say that this is the customer's ISP even if they got like a lot of different ones (even if that could mean that problem is not on customer's side xD).

I will keep post about that until things will change or i get banned because i guess they will be angry to read that people are aware on how they manage to dodge/ignore every EU server issues from this forum section ...

They could be working on this as we speak. I dont doubt that they wish to have stable servers for their own game and that they did not desire any of this. Problems arise and they have to be dealt with.

What bothers me is that they avoid the problem and fail to acknowledge it. It insults ones intellect if they truly think that an explanation like " well, it could be on your end and you should contact your isp provider " is sufficient and if they believe people should just accept it. Especially if people thoroughly tested the issue on other games and found zero latency issues.

I dont believe we are being unreasonable here. We are just asking for answers and hoping you are going to provide some.

I was going step by step with this, and when I did the "netstat"

There we go, much more than 3-5 lines?I dont have anything open, except Avast Antivirus.
My current main problem is that every time I go into any group my latency,
goes form 25-40 to 200-800 (Connected to London server)

this is my netstat... i've all closed except avast... from few times i get dc from the game... but what i don't understand is that after the dc also normal internet don't work for some seconds... but it start just when i'm playing poe, not normally staying in browser... any idea?
Rather than necroing an old thread, can you make your own. Take a look at the stickies, find the connection primer, DL and run winMTR for 300-500 seconds for us. Need to see what your trace looks like.

Sorry to bother but i'm kinda desperate, i dont have much knowledge about internet, connections and stuff like that i just want to play the game.

Thanks for the help.
Not often but sometime i take a freeze on game and i see that my latency go from 75ms to 1000 for a short period then back to 75.....

i try to do a netstat but i don't know why it seem to connect to the server then take dc.....

And this is the actual situation.....
Posting 'raw' netstat output isn't really going to provide any useful insight about your system. Looking at entries that have TIME_WAIT or CLOSE_WAIT are only showing connections that are in the process of being closed (TCP connections don't close instantly).

If you really want to see the current ESTABLISHED connections use something like:

netstat -o | findstr ESTABLISHED

The number in the right-most column is the PID, so you could use:

tasklist | findstr /c:"PID"

to find the process name.

Or:

netstat -ab

to show the process associated with the connection.

If you want to make like easier, just task manager/resource monitor or something like TCPView/CurrPorts

That said, realistically, looking at this information in isolation is not going to tell you very much.
